This morning when I let my chickens out I noticed one of my chicks was just standing, not running around with the others, I picked her up and noticed that her back end was matted up a bit with poo, I cleaned her up and noticed her cloaca is not as it should be!!! Instead of being like lips (so to speak) it seems to be just flapping skin like its ripped open?? It's hard to explain but I will post some pictures. I have no idea what to do!! She is lethargic, and tucked up, the chick is about 5 weeks old. There is no blood and the flesh is pale not red or inflamed.i have no clue how this has happened? I thought that I will put her in the brooder with the heat lamp and vitamins but after that I have no idea how to fix this?! Does anyone have any ideas or seen this before? Thanks in advance
